Full title: Trends in Firearm-Related Emergency Department Visits and Hospitalizations in California, 1992 to 2010
A friend of mine who works for a Republican legislator in California sent me this link which I saved as a pdf. According to her there are some Democrats who want this report suppressed because it isn't helping them with making the case that gun ownership is a "health care crisis" in California. The actual statistics in this report show an absurdly huge (74%) decline in people getting injured by guns in California between 1992 and 2010.
In that same time gun ownership went through the roof in California and the Federal assault weapons law expired.
My friend asked me to pass this along and ask everyone who cares about gun rights to download and save a copy of this report just in case it gets removed and just in case the Democrats every try to deny that such a report even existed at all!
Thank you!

Liberals love anti gun statistics. Contrary statistics are, of course, absurd.
Basically, the chart says that firearms death and injury rates are half what they were in 1992.
But you’d think from the way the media says things that the country in groaning under a bloody load of corpses caused by guns.
stop it...
The graph that jumped off the screen at me was the days of the week when most gun violence happens. The chart shows during the Monday- Thursday period, gun violence drops but surges from Friday-Sunday.
To me that pretty much sums it up.
During the week we are to busy working, but the weekend is for partying and fighting each other.
That’s a good reason to stay home on the weekends but it may not keep us safe unless we have home protection available.
